1. Want godly items? Duped ones are available everywhere for cheap. (Yes, if you've knowingly bought them, you've been corrupted).
2. Want to level quicker? Nexon's failure at catching hackers gives you good reason to bot.
3. Glitch abuse. Nuff' said.
4. The mentality of the merchant and/or scammer. Buy low (or for nothing) and sell high. It corrupts to the point of the merchant/scammer thinking what they're doing is perfectly fine.
Maplestory was never as competition-driven, an enabler of selfishness, and capitalist-crony (within the players' mentality AND the company) as it's been in recent years. If people fail to see this, they're just naive.
Alright, I see your point. However most of those points seem to have been created out of greed, so it seems the two play off one another. If the merchant mentality = corruption, then I will admit I am corrupt. It is hard a f'uck to make money in this game and therefore I have personally had to change my mindset to survive and be able to upgrade. I guess everyone draws the line somewhere.
